THIS has been an exciting week for the
produce spectators. On Monday occur
red the great break in coffee which was
followed on Tuesday by the still more
disastrous collapse of the wheat corner in
Chicago. In one day June wheat declined
1S4 cents, something almost without pre-
cedent. OF course it is unnecessary to say
that this drop IN wheat was accompanied
by scenes of Undesirable excitement.
For three months and half the wheat
market has been controlled bv a clique
whose supposed location has been Cincin-
natl. Tuesday marks their downfall. They
ipulatOrs have dis covered before that the
path of the wheat cornerer is thorny
one. 1t has been again proven that
wheat is too big product for any man
or combination of men to corner. There
has been no corner in wheat that has
met with success at all commensurate
with the risk run, while most of them
have brought lrretrIevable ruin upon the
manipulators. At the same time, it Il

termine to what regiments Or states they be
longed
Considerable excitement was occasioned
here Thursday by the action of Gen. ,Boynton,
who at IL O'Clock proceeded to the city hall
to carry out the instructions received Wednes-
day night from Governor Foraker, of Ohio,
40 institute proceedings to enjoin the return
of the rebel flags which were captured by
Ohio troops"
The proposed return of the flags is the all
absorbing topic of discussion in public places.
Representative Hatch, of Missouri. who was
one of the Confederate officers present at Ap-
pomattox on the occasion of the surrender OF
Lee to Grant, says he was present at the sec
ond interview between Gems Grant and Lee,
when the conditions of the surrender were
agreed upon, and Gen. Grant authorized the
southern forces to retain their side arms and
other accoutrements, and return to their
homes in peace, and added: "Now, as Gen.
Grant said that the side arms, accoutrements,
and in some cases the horses of the Confed
crates should be returned to their respective
owners, do not see why the old regimental
and company flags should not also go back to
their original owners
ner discussing Gen Fairchild's savage attack
on the originator of the scheme Many severe
remarks were uttered, and in some instances
the excitement became intense. Old soldiers
are especially severe in their Remuneration
of the proposition, while those who did not
participate in the late unpleasantness are in
clined to view the matter in a very conserva-
tive way. The agitation Of the question has
given rise to rumors to the effect that the
senate military committee will take up the
matter.
An old Union soldier facetiouslv said. What
are they going to return to the south the flags
and other war insignia we captured from
theml Well, if they do that suppose will
have to submit to surgical operation and
send back to them three or four bullets have
been carrying over twenty years"
Governor Boynton acting for Governor
Foraker of Ohio, has engaged the services of
Governor Boutwell, and Judge Shellabarger
to enter legal proceedings to prevent the war
department fromreturning Confederate battle
flags to the southern states. Governor Bout
well and Judge Shelabarger held a consulta
ton Thursday morning, and nearly COM
pleted the preparation of the papers TO file
with the court, asking for writ of mandamus
requiring the secretary of war to appear and
show cause why he should not be- enjoined
from disposing of government property with
out authority from congress, and reciting
what the property is Judge Shellabarger
was busy with another case however, and
the papers could not be completed in time to
file before the court adjourned

prominent guests were commander in Chief
Fairchild, G. A R.; Gen. Sherman, Lieut..
Gen Sheridan Governor Lounsburv, Brig
Gen Hawley, Department Commander Tain
tor, Maj Gen. Slocum. Col Fred Grant, and
scores of others. Commander J. n Coe of
Admiral Foote post No II, presided and in
an appropriate speech introduced Gen Tain
tor, who in his remarks denounced the idea
of returning the Confederate flags, which had
been purchased by blood The president, if
he consented to their return, would receive
from the G. A. T. warning he would not
dare to override.
Gen. Fairchild was the next speaker, and
said: "Since about 1861 the Grand Army has
been the friend of the south. We have no
sort of hate Or malice against our old foes
anywhere, and are ready to extend TO them
the right hand of fellowship. Notwithstand-
ing all this, l most emphatically assert that
the southern states have no manner of right
to take from us the relics Of the late rebellion
in the shape OF rebel flags What would Mis-
souri,, Maryland, Mississippi, South Carolina,
and the other states do with them' Would
the governors of those states place them in
their state capitols as emblems to be revered
and to teach coming generations treason' No
loyal governor of any state in this Union will
receive them They will say: They are rel
les of the dead and past; we are members of
the union of states and can not receive these
emblems of treason.
Commander Fairchild concluded by saying
that he spoke in defense of the southern
people, whom he felt sure would feel insulted
by having those flags thrust upon them
General Sherman was introduced and
greatly applauded. He briefly thanked those
present, but excused himself from speaking.
Senator Hawley read telegram stating
that the president had 'escinded the order for

WASHINGTON CITY, June 17.-There was a
large gathering of railway men at the inter
state commerce commissions rooms Thursday
to listen TO and take part in the case of west
ern railways against the Pennsylvania road
for refusing to sell the tickets of the former
because they insisted on the commission sys-
tenn. Among the prominent railway men
present were George B. Roberts, president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company; John
Scott, counsel, and j. R. Wood. general pas
senger agent. and Col Robert A Parke. gen
eral southeastern agent; Frank LOOMS, coun-
sci and Mr.. Monett general passenger agent
for the New York Central & Hudson River
G. NJ Chapel, general manager, General
Passenger Agent Charlton, and Oates &
Brown, attorneys for the Chicago & Alton
railroad, and Mr. j c. Brooks, coun sci for
the Pennsylvania company.
The question involved in this controversy
grows out of an attempt on the part of the
PENNSYLVANIA and the New York Central
roads to break up what is known as the ticket
commission business. Arguments were made
for the compliments by Mr.. Brown and for
the Pennsylvania road by John Scott The
hearing was completed and the question left
with the commission.
number of complaints were received at
Interstate commerce headquarters Thursday
from Armour & Co, and Nelson Morris &
Co, of Chicago; George Hammond & Co, of
Detroit, and the Fest st. Louis Dressed Beef
and Canning company, against the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, the Michigan
Central, Chicago & st. Louis, the Chicago Il
Grand Trunk, Pittsburg & Fort Wayne. and
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad companies.
The specific complaint in each case is that the
rates charged by these roads on dressed beef,
sheep and hogs is unreasonable and unjust,
and in excess of rates charged for other like
kinds of property.
